Encourage One Another With This

“From the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion” Phil 1:5-7

We were ready for the next phase of our journey. Up, out, packed and downstairs by 8:00 am (our scheduled departure time). Pastor P arrived around 8:30 but asked if we could rearrange our luggage situation to carry only what was necessary. That of course included all of my bags, but K and A were able to take one bag combined, which saved room and enabled us to take the Pastor’s car, he explained this was better on the “jigjag” roads! Ah, the drive that was ahead of us. We arrived in the afternoon but all of us asked the Pastor if there was any internet service. I felt the need to see if I received word from home. It was an adventure that took us over an hour to find a place open with a working connection. We all logged on, updated, and asked for more prayers. It caused us to be a little late for our night meeting but we arrived safe and sound.

The singing was in full force, and would continue for another hour - lots of clapping shouting and more hallelujahs than can be counted. When it came time for our program we were ready! They loved it and were genuinely encouraged to go forth as missionaries to the nation. We prayed in agreement that it be so. The Pastor and his wife had prepared a meal of curry and rice for us, and after a long drive and a long day it was a tasty treat. We didn’t return to the hotel until after 10:00 pm – enjoyed the scalding hot water (a first since we have been here) doused ourselves (and our beds) with oils, Off and the blood of Jesus! The Father provided us with His peace – a job well done faithful servants. We entered into His joy and His rest.
